ToQ stage 1

Anyone else find that they can't see their stage scores for 1st stage of ToQ? Can't seem to find mine and I'm not sure if it's me or everyone.

PS think i did naff

Thanks, I'll just have to wait..

I'm on it, just doing them now

Scores just updating.

There is no combat award in Qatar. So no 10 points for that.

Not the great start tour I'd envisaged for my fantasy teams. Things can only get better hey!?!

I seem to have been accidentally awesome in today's stage. Go me?!

Ive brought in Rast and Rasch for Bewley (out) and Guardini

Ive brought in the schar for tomottow, expecting tp to lead his ttt for a win...

Phinney saved my team from complete failure.

Bewley is out boys

Back to the drawing board, and not great for my purist team

Woo hoo, I might have my lanterne rouge badge.
Could dave put little red flags on the badges to indicate how many times we have won that badge?

6,8,9,13 and 15 for me.
